4.8 / 5.0(301 reviews)
We ordered a starter, two dinners, and four drinks. But while ordering, the waitress was hurrying us to order… At the end we did not want dessert but we were planning on getting more drinks, one of the male waiters was great and even brought us two shots “just to try,” which we appreciated. but then 5 minutes later the lady with short hair came over, slapped the check on the table, and told us “we are done.” We never asked for the check. (LITERALLY) A few minutes later, she came back checked the table if we were going to pay right away. I said “huh, are you kicking us out?” She looked at us and asked “don’t you understand English?” We were speaking English the whole time. It felt like there was some racism behind the way she treated us. Overall, the food was average, but the rude service completely ruined the experience. I wouldn’t go back. Quaint and iconic. This is one of those restaurants you must visit when in St. Marten. Elegant dishes are served with amazing service. The table-side presentation of the dishes is truly special and you are treated as loyal patron even if it’s your first visit. 5 stars. We enjoyed two outstanding dinners during our recent vacation. Food was beautifully presented and very delicious. Wine pairings were perfectly matched to the food. Service was top notch. Owners Stephane and Tania are very attentive. Staff Julian, Gladys and Brian make sure everyone is attended to with a smile. We look forward to returning on our next trip to St. Martin.

A five star experience from beginning to end! The atmosphere, the food, the company, the service, the wine, the cocktails. This place is going on my list of French favorites and I will be visiting again.

Carefully selected menu is inviting guests to enjoy the French classic dishes with the modern twist. Excellent wine list allows any sophisticated client to fully enjoy the chefs work of art, like classic French Peas Soup, served with cream fresh and poached egg, and Foie Gras Lasagne (I recommend ordering extra seared foie gras!). I personally enjoyed Chilean Sea-bass (from special of the day menu). I can’t wait to visit this restaurant again!
